Young Alejandro (Jeremías Herskovits) lives with his parents Jaime
(Brontis Jodorowsky) and Sara (Pamela Flores) in Chile. Jaime is a
communist who worships Stalin. He plans to assassinate the right-wing
president Carlos Ibanez (Bastian Bodenhofer). Jaime becomes the
president's groom.

"Alejandro Jodorowsky's autobiographical The Dance of Reality is his
first film after a layoff of more than two decades. His main character
is himself, who, as a young man, interacts with a number of unusual
people, and those interactions combined with his own exploration of art
and life lead to a personal philosophy and an artistic vision that would
produce such enduring works as El Topo and The Holy Mountain." All
Movie Guide

"The film blends Jodorowsky’s personal history with metaphor, mythology
and poetry, reflecting the director’s view that reality is not objective
but rather a “dance” created by our imaginations: “The story of my life
is a constant effort to expand the imagination and its limitations, to
capture its therapeutic and transformative potential... An active
imagination is the key to such a wide vision: it looks at life from
angles that are not our own, imagining other levels of consciousness
superior to our own.”

The enclosed, private space a man occupies is penetrated only by images
brought from across distances by the internet. Space, distance and
memory collapse in this haunting meditation on absence and virtual
presence in the 21st century.
